'The Masked Singer' Season 2 

"Time to get weird."

Host Nick Cannon opened the second season of Fox's "The Masked Singer" with this statement, and he wasn't wrong that he was on  the most deliriously strange TV stage. During its first season last winter, "Singer" became a reality competition sensation, turning viewers into sleuths who detected which mostly B- and C-list celebrities were inside elaborate costumes, crooning their hearts out in  glitzy karaoke. 

The new season arrives amid an avalanche of hype, and the judges, host and contestants all seem aware that they're singing and guessing on a hit show. The result is a series that's now a little more manufactured in its weirdness and quirks, but still has the fun mania that made the first season so magical.
